un11vNs DRAWS OUT

And His Supporters will Rally Against
 Hill Chandler.
 CONCORD, N. H., June S.-There are many new and interesting features in the senatorial situation tonight. MT. Rollins withdrawal as candidate before the caucus was not generally expected and many Republicans not his supporters seem at a loss to account for it. He would certainly have received some votes in the caucus had he not with drawn. Neither MT. Rollins nor his supporters are especially friendly to Mir. Chandler, and hencs the votes of the latter in the eau GUS will be given to Marston or some other anti-Chandler candidate. The caucus has been called for 8 o'clock to- morrow evening and MT. Chandler's adher- ents continue to manifest the same confidence as heretofore expressed by them in his suc- cess The Marston men submitted propo- sition to the Chandler forces this afternoon to elect the former for the short term and Chandler for the term beginning March 4, 1889, but the proposition was declined. The lead CTS of Marston's support and anti Chandler men held an lnfoTmal conference suDso- quently and practically concluded to re- main out of the caucus tomorrow. c. A. Sulloway, of Manchester, a pro- nouncsd Marston man, made a vigorous speech declaring his intention to vote for General .Marston, announcing his determina- ton not to go into the senatorial caucus and not to be bound by its action. His address created considerable excitement for short time and an imms- diate adjournment was made. The opponents of Chandler claim that between thirty and forty Republicans will decline to attend the caucus. To prevent the election of the caucus nominee it will require only sixteen Republicans with the Democratic votes, and leading Marston man said there would certainly be more than that num- Der unless the Chandler men accepted the proposition to elect Marston for the short term. The possible support of Marston by the Democrats in case he can secure sixteen votes in thelegislature was intimated. Chand- lers friends appear not to be disturbed by the claims of his opponents. Under this law balloting will occur in each branch of the leg islature Tuesday and in joint convention on Wednesday The Democratic caucus will nominate the Hon. Harry Bingham, of Lit tleton.

DROPPED FROM THE RANKS.
The Only Colored Man Ever Admitted

The Only Colored Man Ever Admitted
 to the Signal Service.
 WASHINGTON, June S.-An order has been issued by the War department directing the dismissal "without character of w. H. H.Green, the only colored man that was ever admitted to the signal service. At the time of his en- listment the case occasioned considera- ble comment. General Hazen strenuously opposed his admittance to the service on the ground that he would not prove Q satisfac tory man, but as he was Q graduate of a New York college was highly recommended and successfully passed the necessary examination Secretary Lincoln overruled Hagen and directed Greens enlist ment. In making the assignments to sta tions Green was detailed to duty at Pensa- cola, but when he arrived there the signal service sergeant in charge of the station refused to accept his services as an assistant and the community regarded him with anything but favor. The sergeant was promptly courtmartialed for disobedience of orders and was reduced to the ranks and the station was turned over temporarily to Greens charge. He did not give satisfaction to the signal service nor to Pensacola. It was then thought he would do better at northern station where the color line is not so closely drawn, and he was detailed for duty at Rechester. N. Y. where he has since been stationed It is stated that his record while there has been very unsatisfactory and that had he been a white man his career in the signal service would have been summarily cut short long ago. but desire to give him every pos sibie opportunity to improve led to his reten- tion until information reached the signal service authorities of such character to necessitate his immediate dismissal

 had the pleasure of installing the officers of the following lodges: McDonough No. 327, January 4; Washington No. 1,526, Jan uary 7; Wilson No. 331, January 10; Roger Sherman No. 323, January il; Steuben No. 3,O53, January 13; Victor No. ,02S, January IA; Mercantile No. 1, ,352, January IS; Matta- bessett No. 2,909, January q and Woolsey No. 1, 1,359, January 24. Only one of those, that of Mattabessett, was public installa- tion, and it was well attended by the fami- lies and friends of the members. This was a remarkably pleasant occasion and I cannot but believe it resulted in good to the lodge To Mattabessett belongs the credit of hay ing, since that meeting, made larger per centage of gain in membership than has any other lodge during the term. Steuben No. 3,053, however, has made the largest net gain during the year, with Danbury 2,7S1. a very close second.
 Since our last session the Supreme lodge has adopted and issued the one degree ritual, and must say that nearly all of the lodges are exceedingly well pleased with it. I have witnessed installations under it in May of the lodges, and when the work is properly sim pliied it is both instructive and impressive. I would like to impress on the officers of the subordinate lodges the importance of com under this ritual is 90 divided among the of
 icers that this can be easily done, and it will make the exemplifeatien of it more beautiful and impressive.
 The fact that during the term not lodge had been suspended, not an appeal made to the grand dictator, together with the fact that only two questions have been submitted for decision. is proof conclusive that our lodges are working harmoniously and under standingly and that our constitution and laws are being strictly followed. Conse- quently am forced to believe that few changes are necessary and few recommends tions needed. I therefore submit but one, which is this: That section 9 of the eonstitu- ton be amended so as to make the fee for instituting new lodges $100 instead of $75. This, together with the amount offered by the Supreme lodge of $25 for the organiza- tion of new lodges of not less than 25 bene- fciary members and $1 for each additional charter member over 25, oughd to be sufi- cient inducement to earnest and active effort in organizing new lodges.

YALE BEATEN AZ CAMBRIDGE E.
Splendid Work by Bingham Wins Il,
 Game for HarVard.

BOSTON, June s.-To- o-day's Harvard Yale game at Cambridge was won by Harvard, whose success was largely due to the splendid work of Bingham, her pitcher. His support was not what it should have been, however, and the fielding of his nine was simply hor- rible during the first part of the game and their errors were costly. After the fifth in- ming their playing was more steady. Bing- hams batting was the best of his side Yale's base hits were very scattered, the only punching being in the fifth inning. Yale did the better base running and played steadier in the field than Harvard, but it was anybody's game from start to finish. The Harvard boys went nearly wild over the re- suit. Following is the score:

 New Yerk's Republican Club Pledges
 Itself To The PIumed Knight.
 NEW YORK, June Sly it's action on the report presented by it's committee on nation al affairs the Republican club of New York city tonight apparently pledged it's support to James G. Blaine in the canvass of 1888. The report begins by recommending that the club turn it's atten- tion from futile attempts to reform Demo- cratic administration to perfeeting the party organization in readiness for 1888. The report continues in substance as follows: "A conference with the leaders of the Irish Americans who voted for Blaine in 1884 dis closes that they will again vote for him and prefer hls nomination to that of any other man." When the re- port came up for adoption by the clubs John s. Smith moved that f'the report be referred back to the committee with instruc- tions to strike out the attempt to boom Mir. Blaine." He said he voted for MT. Blaine in 1884 and would vote for him again, but he deplored any direct or indirect indorsement of a candidate in advance of the convention's $ action.
 Mr. Mahlon Chance explained that the report simply stated facts and that the names of Foraker and Sherman were suggested to the Irish leaders They, however, said they prefer red Mr. Blaine as the only man who had excited the disapproval of their English enemies. After furthr discussion the question of re. committing the report was put to vote and but five members voted to send it back. On the question of it's adoption by the club but one negative vote was cast.

REPORT OF GRAND DICTATOR SMITH.

| To the Officers and Members of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Honor, of Connecticut: Brothers-In obedience to the require ments of our constitution and laws we meet to day in our tenth annual session. At the commencement of our labors let us ''ask | wisdom of him who giyeth literally" that all our action may be such as will promote | the harmony and secure the permanency and continual prosperity of our beloved order. The several reports that will be presented to you will show that the order in this juris- diction rests on @ sound and substantial ba- sis, and that peace and harmony prevail. These reports, however, will also show that the growth Of the or der in this State has not been such as to bring special credit to our membership. The number of mem- 5snuary 5sTs July iss 7sSS s sas 1s1 net ssn a1d o but 8 single member. showing a de- gree of apathy and indifference that ought never to exist. If my information is correct, we have since January 1 made net gain of sixty-four members; and while even this gain is encouraging and gives signs of renewed activity and effort, cannot but add that it is not what it might or would have been if all the brothers had labored earnestly in the good work instead of leaving it to be per formed by the faithful few in each lodge Further information will be given you in the reports of the deputy grand dictators, which are appended to this report. Information concerning the order at large will be given you in the report of the representatives to the Grand lodge.
 During the term but two questions have been submitted for decision
 First-Can the blank assessment notice and receipt furnished by Rogers 6 Tuley of Louisville be legally used, or must lodges purchase all their supplies from the Grand lodge? Answer-Subordinate lodges can adopt such form of notice and receipt as they desire, as these aree not such supplies as are required to be purchased from the Grand lodge.
 Second-An application was sent to the lodge investigating committee; the appoint ed candidate examined by medical examiner and approved by the State medical examiner, but fearing it will be rejected through per sonal motives, desires to withdraw.
 Answer-The application cannot be with drawn.
 Early in the year it was my earnest desire to institute one or more new lodges during the term. I have spent some time to ac- complish this result, but have failed in do. ing so, yet hope and trust that some seed has been sown that will bring forth fruit in the future. It was my intention to visit ey- cry lodge in this jurisdiction at least once during the term, but in two instances cir. cumstances over which I had no control have prevented my doing so Let me say in this connection, that all my visits have been made exceedingly enjoyable by the ex- treme kindness of the brothers, which shall
